07117 Steering part... KIA

[bobvic1217]

How come nobody online anywhere has this part number in stock? I'm dead in the water until I can get this part. Really all I need is the bushing out of the part, but I don't know the specs of it to just search for a bushing. If anyone has any laying around, could you please eyeball in mm, the height, width, and length for me? Only if you have one laying around, too much hassel to take it out. Thank you all, hopefully most of you know what I'm talking about.

Redcat ordered the bushings separate last week. They should be in stock soon. I will ask when they are due.

thank you


my home depot and lowes and TSC don' even remotely have the small bushings im inquireing about.....

Maybee with a flanging tool and some brass tubing you could make some?

 

[RampageHopUps]

It a more of a spacer than a bushing. I bet I could find them from an electronics catalog or master carr.

specs...


yes, if only I had the specs... everything is foreign, (metric)... why cant the whole world get on standardized measurement?

Mine fell out a long time ago and I just replaced them with parts from Ace Hardware. Ace carriers flanged nylon spacers which fit perfect. All you have to do is trim em to length.


To replace the inner threaded bushings you can use metal tee nuts made to be pressed into plywood. Ace also carries these. They have a 5mm tee nut which its perfect. You do however have to trim the spikes off to grab the wood and then dremel the flange down some. Just leave about 1.5mm of the flange. It's not that much work. I think I spent about 10 minutes on each one.

hey Rob

Any word on them steering spacers/bushings yet? I've exhausted the plumbing section at Home depot...

 

[RampageHopUps]

No stock yet. I'm hoping next Tuesday.

 

[bobvic1217]

Thank you

I'll keep my fingers crossed. I looked at Redcat parts search and tried to find something similar, but I cant tell from the pictures just how big or small the spacers actually are. Keep me posted? Just got my hpi adapters and new tires, and waiting on 7075 steering to come in next...

Hell the black nylon flanged busings from Ace Hardware fit perfectly with zero slop. You just have to sand/file them to length.

I ordered mine from Vancouver Hobbies because I couldnt find any companies in the Lower 48 with them.

Is there a part number for these?
